CHAPTER 27 THE REIGN OF JOTHAM _ 1. The reign of Jotham (2 Chronicles 27:1)_ 2. The death of Jotham (2 Chronicles 27:7) The record of the reign of Jotham is brief in both 2 Kings and in Chronicles.

The statement “howbeit he entered not into the temple of the LORD” means that he did not act as Uzziah, his father did, when he intruded into the functions of the priesthood.

The state of the people is pictured by Isaiah in Chapter s 1-5 and also in the book of the prophet Micah. These portions of the Word of God

Jotham was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok. 2.
